PRINTING SYSTEM, TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18520353 titled 'PRINTING SYSTEM, TERMINAL APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a printing system that allows users to generate virtual objects based on print settings and target image data, display them in a superimposed manner on a video image, and then print them using a printing apparatus.

  • Reception unit receives print setting from user
  • Generation unit creates virtual object based on print setting and target image data
  • Display unit shows virtual object superimposed on video image
  • Control unit sends print setting and target image data to printing apparatus for printing
  • Display unit shows virtual object in actual size based on video image and sheet size information in print setting

Potential Applications

The technology described in this patent application could have potential applications in industries such as graphic design, advertising, and 3D printing.

Problems Solved

This technology solves the problem of accurately visualizing and printing virtual objects in real size based on user input and target image data.

Benefits

Original Abstract Submitted

A printing system includes a reception unit configured to receive a print setting from a user, a generation unit configured to generate a virtual object based on the received print setting and print target image data, a display unit configured to display the generated virtual object in a superimposed manner on a video image obtained by image capturing, and a control unit configured to transmit the print setting and the print target image data to a printing apparatus and cause the printing apparatus to perform printing based on the print setting and the print target image data. The display unit displays the virtual object in actual size based on the video image and sheet size information included in the print setting.
